Majorca From challenging climbs to speedy flats, Majorca is a cyclist's 'dream' destination. Saddle up on the Puerto Pollensa to Cap Formentor route where after a hilly start, the smooth road flattens out for "breathtaking" views of the sea and steep cliffs along the peninsula. After a rewarding day of pushing your limits in the saddle, take a well-earned rest with a sangria in hand and a "tantalising" tapas spread. What's the holiday? Jet2holidays - Balearics, Majorca, 3+ star Aparthotel Duva and Spa, Puerto Pollensa, seven nights self-catering departing from London Stansted on June 24. What's the best seat to book on a plane? Price: £879 per person based on two adults sharing, includes a 22kg baggage allowance, bike carriage and return sports transfers. Croatia Whether you are keen to lap around lakes or hug cliffside coastlines, Croatia has a cycling route to impress every cyclist. Starting in Cavtat, the circular route heads away from the glimmering sea and gently climbs uphill towards Zvekovica, with lots of "brilliant" views to enjoy along the way. Once you have finally unclipped from your pedals, there are plenty of picturesque cobblestone old towns and areas of natural beauty to enjoy. What's the holiday? Jet2holidays - Croatia, Dubrovnik Coast, 4-star Aminess Port9 Resort, Korcula Island, seven nights bed & breakfast departing from Manchester on June 17. Have you cycled around Croatia before? (Image: Getty Images) Price: £989 per person based on two adults sharing, includes a 22kg baggage allowance, bike carriage and return sports transfers. Tenerife Traverse "impressive" volcanic peaks and sail along sun-baked flatlands in Tenerife – a destination of surprising contrasts. Those looking for a challenge can take on a long route which begins and finishes in the north of the island, where idyllic belts of greener landscape make for an "invigorating" ride. Experience the highs of Mount Teide National Park before returning to the colourful shores of Puerto de la Cruz. What's the holiday? Jet2holidays - Canary Islands, Tenerife, 3-star Hovima Jardin Caleta Aparthotel, seven nights half-board departing from Leeds Bradford on June 24. Do I Need Travel Insurance? Price: £759 per person based on two adults sharing, includes a 22kg baggage allowance, bike carriage and return sports transfers. Gran Canaria If diverse scenery is at the top of your list, Gran Canaria is for you. Take your pick of flat coastal sand dunes, rich forests, verdant green valleys, and the gruelling gradients of Pico de Las Nieves. For a true challenge, take on the mammoth 190km route that traces the island's entire coastline. Gran Canaria is the ideal place to push your cycling limits and recover in the sunshine. What's the holiday? Jet2holidays - Canary Islands, Gran Canaria, 4-star Gloria Palace San Agustin Thalasso And Hotel, seven nights bed and breakfast departing from Liverpool John Lennon on June 26. Ever thought about heading to Gran Canaria for a cycling break? (Image: Getty) Price: £899 per person based on two adults sharing, includes a 22kg baggage allowance, bike carriage and return sports transfers. Italy Flat costal roads, "breathtaking" paths, and hillside stretches all play a part in making Italy a "dream" cycling destination. For seasoned pros, the circular route which starts and ends in Riva del Garda, traces the "breathtaking" lakeside. Take a moment to stop and soak up the scenery in Sirmione to be "blessed" with glittering waterside views. What's the holiday? Jet2holidays - Italy, Lake Garda, 4-star Hotel Continental Nago, seven nights half-board departing from Birmingham on June 25. Price: £1,029 per person based on two adults sharing, includes a 22kg baggage allowance, bike carriage and return sports transfers.

Wild wanders and breathtaking vistas: Go off-grid amid the Costa Dorada's incredible nature
The Costa Dorada, the 'Golden Coast' of Catalonia known locally as Costa Daurada, is renowned for its calm, blue, Mediterranean waters and 50 miles of sandy beaches, perfect for families and sun-seekers. But beyond the vibrant seaside towns and shimmering shores the area is famous for, adventurers will discover wild landscapes, dramatic mountain ranges and rich biodiversity. What's more, with Jet2holidays flying to the Costa Dorada from 12 UK airports and a range of two to five-star accommodation, it's easier than ever to reach this Mediterranean jewel. Jet2holidays is always giving you more, to help make planning and booking your break as smooth as possible. That goes for the PayPal Pay in 3 interest-free payments** option, 22kg baggage for all your hiking gear, and return transfers† included. Plus, there are Free Child Places***, and infants under two go free‡. Here, let us lead you off the beaten path to discover some of the region's wonderful delights. From parks designed to make the most of its natural beauty, to rugged trails through the mountains for the most spectacular views under stunning skies, get ready to go off-grid and immerse yourself in these wild wonders… A wild adventure in the heart of the mountains Just over an hour's drive from the coast, in the Prades Mountains, is a 21-hectare haven for hikers and nature-lovers of all ages. Serra de Montsant Natural Park boasts Catalonia's most striking natural scenery, from sheer cliffs to deep gorges. Hiking trails wind their way from the foothill villages up through rugged peaks promising panoramic views of the valleys below and hidden delights such as grottoes and ruins. More adventurous explorers will want to join the climbers scaling the dramatic rockfaces of the Montsant mountain range. For a thrilling challenge for families with older children and teens, start at the village of La Morera de Montsant and head for the Grau de Salfores path, under a mile away. Following red paint marks through the rocky bushes, you'll come across Via Ferrata Montsant – an equipped rope walk through the rocky range using a lifeline, for which you'll need a helmet, harness and Via Ferrata lanyard. However you get there, take some time to be still, soak up the tranquillity of this idyllic location and look out for some of the park's huge array of wildlife – perhaps a griffon vulture soaring high above the valleys, or even the often-elusive red deer below. For another must-visit trail in Costa Dorada, head to Mont-roig del Camp. Here you can explore the lush woodlands and striking red rock formation on a hike to the Ermita Mare de Déu de la Roca, a hermitage where you can visit two chapels and enjoy panoramic views across the stunning countryside below. Stargazing in Parc Astronòmic Muntanyes de Prades Inland of Costa Dorada is the Parc Astronòmic of Muntanyes de Prades, an observatory with a high altitude and low light pollution. So it promises perhaps the most pristine view of the night sky in all of Europe. Whether you're an enthusiastic novice or seasoned stargazer, the park hosts regular sessions where you can peer into the cosmos through its powerful telescopes. Under the expert guidance of the park's astronomers, you can spot far-away stars, planets and galaxies with breathtaking clarity. Coastal wetlands and romantic garden retreats Back to the coast, and the Costa Dorada's many family-friendly cycling paths lead you to yet more natural delights, such as the Sèquia Major – a 17-hectare coastal wetland by Vila-seca, la Pineda Platja. Access to the marshlands is regulated, though there are guided tours from August, when the many birds are no longer nesting. Footprints, feathers and foot traces indicate the wild array of wildlife within the park. Lucky visitors may even spot the endangered Iberian toothcarp fish, or the European pond turtle. You'll find another natural paradise in Cambrils' Parc Samà, a 19th-century botanical garden that feels like something out of a fairytale. Founded by Salvador Samà i Torrens, Marquis of Marianao, and heir to a Catalan family established in Cuba, the park was designed by Josep Fontserè, with Gaudí's assistance. The elegant design reflects Catalan and Cuban history, with modernist touches peppered between winding paths and romantic vistas. Botanists will love unearthing the many rare species of fauna, including the palms in the tropical greenhouse, built on the site of the founder's old riding school. There's plenty for animal-lovers of all ages, with a delightful assortment of birds and animals from Central America as well as native to Catalonia. So make time to visit the aviary, parrot pavilion and the donkey shelter. Bring a picnic too – there's plenty of play and rest areas to enjoy. And when evening calls, the Michelin-starred delights of Cambrils town are just a ten-minute drive away. With Jet2holidays, you can book your next off-grid adventure in the Costa Dorada simply and easily. From a low £60 per person deposit* to PayPal Pay in 3 interest-free payments**, 22kg baggage and 10kg hand luggage per person to return transfers†, it's all included.

Teacher bags Greek getaway for just £20.70 using easy travel hack
Jerry Lucas, a primary school teacher from Nottingham, successfully 'Bid for a Break' with Jet2holidays, meaning she will jet off to Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort in Halkidiki, Greece, for £20.70 A teacher is jetting off on holiday for the price of a chippy tea for two with Jet2holidays. Jerry Lucas, a primary school teacher from Nottingham, successfully 'Bid for a Break' with Jet2holidays to secure a seven-night all-inclusive holiday to Greece for just £20.70. She bagged the holiday following the return of the UK's largest tour operator's popular campaign. Bid for a Break gives holidaymakers the chance to pay as little as just a few pence for a new getaway every other month until March 2026. Following the relaunch in May, five more holidays are being given away in July, September, November, January and March. After Jerry placed her bid of £20.70, she was told she had entered the lowest unique bid and purchased the seven-night all-inclusive Jet2holiday for two adults and two children to the Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort in Halkidiki, Greece, for that same price. Jerry said: 'I never expected to win and am already getting excited to take my husband away to celebrate a special birthday! I've always thought my winning bid was a lucky amount. Each time I've entered in the past, I've bid the same amount, so I'm over the moon to have finally won and to be jetting off to Greece.' All holidaymakers need to do to enter is download the Jet2 mobile app, submit their bid to the nearest pence and cross their fingers. If their amount is the lowest and no one else has bid that exact same amount, they will purchase the holiday for that same price. Bidding for the next holiday will open at 10am on 14 July, giving holidaymakers plenty of opportunity to place their bids until 10am on 21 July. Steve Heapy, CEO of and Jet2holidays, said: 'Since its launch, our Bid for a Break campaign has been phenomenally popular with holidaymakers, so we are delighted to see it make its highly anticipated comeback. We're always looking at ways to give our customers more, so that is why we have brought back everyone's favourite – Bid for Break. "We would like to congratulate Jerry on her successful bid to secure a family holiday to Halkidiki for just £20.70. With a new getaway available to bid on every other month until March 2026, holidaymakers have plenty of opportunity to pay just a few pennies for their next getaway.'
